Should I get tested for HIV?

I live in a Scandinavian country (if it's at all relevant), and I've had unprotected cunnilingus with a guy. I am HIV negative, and to the best of his knowledge, so is he. He has never injected drugs, never slept with prostitutes, isn't from Sub-Saharan Africa or South-East Asia, and claimed he had only slept with four women (including me - and we used condoms, yes) and no men.  

If he was indeed HIV infected, could I get it through him performing cunnilingus on me? He did not have any bleeding wounds in his mouth that I was aware of.  
I seem to find a lot of information about fellatio and HIV, or guys performing cunnilingus on a HIV positive woman - but very little on this - the risk of male to female transmission of HIV through cunnilingus.

Would you advise I got tested?
I should mention I am a hypochondriac and don't trust anyone.

If you suspect anxiety is an issue, it probably is.  Never hurts to seek help for that!

Damnit, damn my hypochondria. I fear to be one of ...what, three people in the entire world allegedly infected through receiving cunnilingus. Perhaps I need to see a psychiatrist, and not a doctor.

No, oral sex is not a risk.
